Docked ships are a source of contamination for the city while they keep their engine working. Plume emissions from large boats can carry a number of pollutants to nearby cities causing a detrimental effect on the life quality and health of local citizens and ecosystems. A computational fluid dynamics model of the harbour area of Tromsø has been built in order to model the deposition of CO2 gas emitted ...

Multiphysics analysis has been developed over the recent past to better represent the behaviour of complex processes by the use of simultaneous modelling of a number of systems. This development is driven by the industrial need to further the understanding of real physical phenomena in order to develop and design safer and more efficient products which are environmentally friendly. Such analyses ...

With the increase of the human activities in the Arctic, including land and sea, is resulting in higher release of pollutants to the environment. These pollutants can be categorised as gases released in the air such as carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide, NOx, etc., and waste released in seas such as chemical toxins, microplastic, etc. This work presents a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) study ...

The study presents the multiphysics modeling of bio-aerosols generated from human respiratory impulses such as coughing, sneezing, breathing, and talking. These droplet-packed viruses exploit the influence of airflow for effortless transmission, rendering them a potential health risk to individuals in the same indoor environment. To gain insight into the transmission of these airborne particles, ...

The fluids have been around us for as far as we know and it enabled us to cross the oceans, ride the winds, shortens the distances, and much more. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has extended our understanding of fluids. Until today, the analytical solution of fundamental equations of fluid mechanics is a million-dollar award (referred to Clay Mathematics Institute). As engineers, let's leave ...

In this study, a numerical weak coupling strategy for the modeling of a conjugate heat transfer phenomenon is considered. Where the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations are solved using the Semi-Implicit Method for Pressure Linked Equations (SIMPLE) as a first step, and then the heat conduction equation for solid is solved in a second step considering the convective velocity field resulting from ...

Many remote sensing techniques can be used to identify the cracks/voids on the road surfaces. The given research focuses on applying infrared thermography (IRT). IRT technology can detect features based on the different thermal signature. This method would be an excellent tool for detecting the fracture/cracks. It is because of the reason that the naturally occurring water (rain, snowmelt, etc.) ...

Additive manufacturing (AM) is the process in which objects are created through the layer-by-layer deposition of material that is controlled by a computer. The infill is the internal structure of the 3D printed model. It determines the strength, weight, cost, time, and overall quality of the part. Ranging from simple lines to more complex geometric shapes, infill patterns can affect a part's ...
